Lon I was one of the biggest Korn fans for 4 years, I said “And sadly influenced Limp Bizkit.” No where does that say “Influenced by”.Johnny I wouldn't call Faith No More nu-metal… at all

I mis-read it. Sorry.

That said, I dig Korn. I can't think off-hand of any kind of backlash or disrespect toward the band. Though many joked about the one guy quitting after finding religion – hey, more power to him, IMO. Is that the guy you're referring to? I like them but I don't know all their names.

I'd call FNM the creators of alternative metal. And the guitarist that left was Brian Head Welch. I went on the reunion tour last year. However I'm talking bout Fieldy the bassist who actually stayed in the band after finding out how to get his life together. I mean, he tried killing his wife in a hotel room

There was alt-metal way before FNM. But I'm not much for labeling stuff. Alt-metal, nu metal, black metal, death metal, heavy metal, shock rock/shock metal, blah blah friggin' blah. I don't care what anyone calls it, I only care if I like it.

Never heard about the guy trying to kill his wife. If he got his life together, awesome. Can't really say I care either way, though. Again, I only care if I like the music. What a musician does on their own time is none of my concern.

Well I worded that wrong. It was more of an “accidental oh I almost killed you”. Lol I don't remember why but he started hitting her and everything then threw her on the couch, forced a pillow over her face. He didn't realize he made her pass out, so it wasn't an intentional killing attempt
